Head gasket? Cracked head? help!

I bought an 83' 'rolla wagon with a bad head gasket. I used bar's leaks head gasket repair to seal the head gasket, and fallowed the directions thouroughly. Now the car doesnt smoke, but it pukes up oil out of the valve cover vent. I've never owned a toyota 4 cylinder before, and was wondering if the heads were notorious for cracking, like the Mitsubishi Starions, and if there was a way of getting around this.

Those dont work, replace the whole gasket if you dont want it to leak.

Some 4A and 4A-F heads were susceptible to cracking.
